Subversion has a feature called svn:externals that you have to use.
In your example, it would involve setting this SVN property on the
Modules folder:

property: svn:externals
value: Project2 url://server/repos/path/to/Project2

Then when you checkout My Project, Subversion will also checkout
Project2 and put it in place.
